More to Life

TODAY'S QUOTE:
"There is more to life than increasing its speed.".... Gandhi

Speed gives us a false sense of accomplishment. So what??? Big deal!!! Life isn't a race; first one to the finish line will receive a trip... that much is true. But the cemetery isn't Disneyland and there are no round trip prizes available. So what's the hurry? It makes much better sense to make every moment count than it does to measure anything human on a mph scale.

Rushing from pillar to post devalues any task we're putting our time and energy into unless we're first responders. If intense motion is something you delight in use it in a positive fashion. Entertain your fellow man on a race track... race toward dangerous situations to rescue them... race them to hospitals for life saving care, but don't break the speed limit getting to the end of the road.

All the running in the world can't equal even one moment spent frozen in wonderment. Life is worth savoring, and that cannot be done at a gallop. Pump the brakes... slow down... and as always... think about it... let it ride... then YOU decide!!!
